What is your opinion about paid links?

I made a LOT of money from selling paid links on my sites over the years so I odn't really so a problem with them as long as your blog isn't solely online to sell paid links, but Google doesn't see it as being part of a level playing field so they are looked upon in a negative light.

I'm looking at moving into another money-making avenues, but there isn't one that will benefit all of my sites, only one or two.
 
Paid links are a form of buying, investing or a reciprocal way of gaining links in exchange for a certain amount. Furthermore, paid links are not valued highly by Google's search engine. It means, doing an SEO or dealing with paid links would like to be just the same thing in effort and in search results. Although, you'll get backlinks as of its benefit from them, it's still very little.
